      <description>Implementation of workflow connecting Transport Order to Purchase Order via Purchase Requisition

Maersk Drilling and Supply Service operations include shipping parts from one place to another. The solution provided for this with in IFS Applications was Transport Order, but there was no workflow in IFS for handling the financial aspects of Transport Orders. My job was to design and implement a workflow for creating Purchase Requisitions and then Purchase Orders so that Maersk can handle purchasing and financial aspects of Transport Orders. Moreover I had to include a data replication solution for the development according to IFS Standards. Customer was happy with the solution and hopefully this product will be a part of IFS Core Application in near future.

      <name>Finnveden Metal Structures - Warehouse Efficiency and Eliminates errors with Automated Data Collection Solution from IFS</name>
      <description>For more than a decade, Swedish manufacturer Finnveden Metal Structures has been using IFS Applicationsâ„¢ to manage the production of metal products and solutions for its impressive list of customers in the automotive and engineering industries. Having implemented a large portion of the IFS suite across its international organization, the company was looking for a way to streamline its warehouse operations when upgrading to IFS Applications 8. Aiming to replace error-prone manual data entry with barcode scanning, Finnveden Metal Structures selected IFS Warehouse Data Collection to replace its current third-party solution.

Major aspects of the project:

# THE NEED FOR A MOBILE SOLUTION TO OPTIMIZE WAREHOUSE OPERATIONS
Finnveden had realized that by better understanding the flow of its warehouse processes, and by implementing a rigorous warehouse management structure, the company could improve data quality, product traceability and, by extension,  quality control. To achieve this, Finnveden wanted IFS to implement IFS Warehouse Data Collection, a mobile warehouse management solution designed for use on ruggedized mobile devices, vehicle-mounted computers, and laptops. The solution, built on IFS core technology without any need for third-party integrations, runs on Windows Mobile and Android devices as well as PCs.

# BARCODE SCANNING: ELIMINATING THE RISK OF MANUAL ERROR
The main ambition for implementing IFS Warehouse Data Collection was that finnveden wanted to rely entirely on handheld scanners throughout the warehouse process to ensure traceability and reduce the risk of errors commonly associated with manual data entry. Replacing an existing third-party scanning solution, IFS Warehouse Data Collection was initially implemented at Finnvedenâ€™s site in Forsheda, Sweden.</description>

      <recommendation-text>I can only say positive about Kasun. He has helped me with different IT-development-tasks for my Danish customers.  He has a very good attitude towards coming up with a solution to a not always very well documented issue. 
A short tele-conference is normally enough to provide him with details - so a well working solution is delivered from his desc.</recommendation-text>
